Laughter: The Infamous Journal

   Good morning dearest readers! I have finally found some time in my busy schedule this morning to write a short post. I've gotten dressed, made my lunch and re-read my essay that I need to submit this evening; everything is going by smoothly. As I read over the last couple of entries, I realized that I haven't written a laughter post in quite some time, so this morning, I'm bringing it back. There have been many interesting things happening lately, well with my job, summer class, the writing workshop and my on-going social life (the last one being my mom's favorite up to now since she thinks that I don't get out enough). Nonetheless, I'm pleased up to now with how I'm spending my time.
   So for this morning's post, we come full circle to the 'stuff Riley says' journal Katie and I started earlier this year. Its pages are being filled slowly but surely, and after my friends from work came over for dinner before we went to a work party, they discovered it and realized that we should have a similar book for the clever remarks that happened between us. But not only for the summer team, but make it as a kind of ambassador tradition where the whole team documents funny moments so that they can be remembered forever.
   It's true that some jokes are only funny the moment of, but some are worth remembering even if the punch line fades away a little every year. Heck, even some of the jokes Shakespeare wrote are still remembered even if they're not exactly fully understood. Some things are timeless, and a good laugh with some good friends should be something worth remembering.

Love: Fière de ma Francophonie

   Good afternoon dearest readers and it is quite the beautiful day. This morning's post is a short one but it is also one with a song. I figured it's been a while since I posted a song and today's will be different than past ones. The big difference with this song is that it is in french, so if you don't understand it, then you might just have to wait for the next song but feel free to listen still.

   So this just shows how proud I am of my french language and at the same time, this song is my dad's favorite so it becomes a kind of entry dedicated to him since last weekend was Mother's Day and it was obviously dedicated to my Mom. 

   All will be explained in the beginning of the video, so without further ado, please enjoy my first french song published!

Literature: The Tempest

   Good morning dearest readers! I am having a wonderful summer and it's starting off with a bang. I've got quite the weekend planned out and I'm excited to start it! I've been reading lots, and I've been enjoying every minute of it (even if I did get a sunburn last Sunday). 

   The book that I've just finished recently is Shakespeare's The Tempest. Personally it is one of my favorites of his, and the story line is quite good. It has an otherworldly wibe, and even if there is romance in the play, it doesn't focus only in that like in Romeo and Juliet. My Literature and The Environement is teaching me more than I had thought I would learn in a condensed class, but I'm loving every second if it. The two other longer works that I'll be studying is Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and The Life of Pi. 

   If you're not much of a play reader, but would like to try one out, read The Tempest and it'll give you a good base of knowledge dear readers. Remember to keep a smile on your face and a thank you on the tip of your tongue.

Love: Happy Mother's Day

   Good morning dearest readers and I hope you are going to take advantage of this beautiful sunny day, and take the time to appreciate the most important women in everyone's life, their mother. It's a tough day for me since I can't be home, but I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my own mother Donna for all of the support she has given me through the years, and to know that she will always be there for me, and will always love me.
   I'd also like to wish a happy mother's day to my oma Nellie, to my grandmother Sue, and to my aunt Lina, Marie and Louise. Also, I'd like to wish my friend Véro's mother Doris a happy mother's day since  she acts as a kind of second mom to me as well.
   Looking back on all of these incredible women, I see why I am the way I am; a determined, value-driven and respectful person who will stop at nothing to see that her goals are met. I really appreciate everything that each and everyone of them has done for me, so on this fine Sunday morning, I'd like to thank all of you for being the great role models that you are, and helping to make the world a better place, one smile at a time.
   Therefore dear readers, take the time today to thank the woman that brought you to this earth, and appreciate all of the ones before her, because you will only have one of them in your life, and they will forever change it for the better.
